some pics of my new wheels in Merc Silver. Info is in sig.

forgive the not too amazing photoquality/photography.

Wheels look amazing in person, pictures do NOT do justice. 100% satisfied with the look.

Traction and handeling is better because of the tires. Braking has definetly suffered a little. Acceleration may have been hindered, but it could be just in my mind im not sure (its not a huge dif. if any). Steering response and all that seems fairly unchanged. Initially I was worried about performance loss but its not very noticable so overall Im very glad I went 19".

The overall setup is 5lb lighter total.

Enjoy the pics













sry if this was a lot of pics

im off to china take care guys

 

The banding and everything went well. I have to find an accurate guage to check to see if the tps are reading correctly to the 1psi. Banding process was def. a pain.

 

Are The Wheels 5 Pounds Lighter Each, Or All 4 Total? Also You Have Wider Tires Your Braking Should Improve! Handling Should Also Get A Bit Better! Do You Find It Harder To Spin The Tires Off The Line, I Would Think You Would Get A Better Jump Off The Line With Those Wider Wheels And Tires.

 

The traction is def. better so this has improved handeling and the tires hook up well so launches are easier too, but brakeing is just a little harder. It doesn't seem to have the same bite as before, but its not a huge deal.

With all four wheels + tires combined its about 7lbs lighter all together.

The volks weigh about 26 for the 8.5 and 27lbs for the 9.5. Thats about the same as stock, but the potenzas that come stock weigh an insane amount, so KDW helped in the weight loss.

 

Hey man niiice wheels, I am getting my sf challenge in a week, I cant wait. IS your car dropped?

 

are those the rims that greddy has...?

 

I have not dropped yet. But my desire to do so has increased since installing the new wheels. Not sure why but the bigger wheels just ask for the drop.

Manjot - Im not sure what you mean by the greddy wheels.

 

manjot-if you're talking about the DB GReddy Z then no. they have the GTCs

 

nice man, i have mine in diamond black coming next weekend! Damn YOU for not making sleep any easier now!
